#318: Psychology Of Setting Resolutions You'll Keep


Listen Later

I'll be the first to admit I've set many resolutions. Yet I've never achieved a single one. At least not that I can recount. Yet, I keep going back to the same approach, hoping one of these years it will work.

I never blamed the act of setting resolutions for why they didn't work, but I always blamed myself.

In the last few years, I re-evaluated the traditional resolution approach. I even begged you not to set resolutions, claiming it's not the answer to what you are seeking.

But then I started to question if that was another extreme approach that neglected the answer. What if resolutions do work, but the problem is how we work or don't work to achieve them. What if the answer was our actions?

The problem is we're attempting resolutions with the wrong approach.

Inside the three-part mini-series, I'm breaking down the three important steps to set the resolutions and actually achieve them. It begins by understanding you don't have a problem. You have a pattern. And that pattern feeds or enables the problem. When you know what pattern you are living in, you can break it to create a new one. That changes everything about your outcome.
